Dec. 18.—With tht» excep tion of December corn and oats, all deliveries of wheat, corn and oata sold at a new high for the season w ith cash corn at the highest price of the year. Doth wheat and corn acted tight at times and there was no ma j u rial pressure on the market during the day. Coral traders were bullish and good support was in evidence'on all the dips. Closing trades were at gains of 1 •'*$3on wheat, 1 *4 ft 1 S on corn, D 'fhc south j west, with little or no snow protec : tlon. led to a belief that damage had I been done to the new wheat crop and there was considerable buying on this view. There was free buying of May early by a local house which was at tributed to a local trader who has been bearish for several days. Selling of Chicago May against purchases at Winnipeg at 11c difference served to preveht a larger advance Imre. <»o Mow on Itulgcs. While N-nttumit In wh-at eont.nuea de cided l> bullish there was a noticeable disposition in a.une tjfiartcrs to go slow on the buying side of the bulges The ' i*ible supply de«-dease<] L'.t7fi,000 bushels for the week and this had some influence. l*ltt!e change was noted in the character of the reports regarding legislation at Washington. Liverpool closed Hfa\d I higher, a decrease of ov«*r 6,000,000 I bushels on Ocean passage, being a factor, j No .attention was paid to a decline in i foreign exchange. K.\port business was I more active, with sale, of around I.OnO. 0OO bushels including considerable durum. roars- grains showed a strong under I tone Iron) the start ai|d while long i December corn arid oats came out freely, the deferred futures were In demand from j local fulls and from commission houses and the advance was easily attained with [the close around the top. I <»rn Receipt* Liberal. I Cash corn sold at full prices early as I compared with the December, but the No. 3 grade? were off % d at the last. Shipping demand was slow and receipts liberal. 959 curs of corn, of which part were applied to purchases to arrive, l.ow tempera f urea are stimulating farm con sumption. Buying of rje w as headed by houses with east rr and export connections and with "heat strong, an advance was easily a( tained. Tho seaboard claimed 2*10.000 bushels had been sold for export. No. 2 on track sold a.t 1c under May with 10.000 bushels sold to go to store. nt Not**. The government crop report on w Inter wheat acreage and condition for 1923. given out afttr the close today was gen erally regarded *s bearish an It showed 700,000,000 bushels or 15.000,000 bushels more than iudlra'e.J on the revised acreage last yrar. while 588,000,000 bushels were harv*-.Med as shown by the revised figure?, hnh may 1»- changed again a yrar from now.'* A few of tlio statisticians regarded It as bullish uh the condition of 79.5 is the third lowest on record and tho winter wheat has rn countered cold weather with no enow covciHlig the past week. TheXlradc expects a small break in wheat. «.vvlrg to the government report. Hood buying is likely to develop on the decline and a rally will be no surprise to trade leaders. December wheat acted tighter and closed 21*,c over .May’ against %c on Sat urday. Tlio trade had rumors of a set tlement being made on a large line on Saturday between a New York trader and a In. a I house. The latter dented it. Trades in December were reported sa set tling better today. December corn and oats were on the market in a liberal way. Wheat stocks at Chicago, Kansas City. Omaha and St. Louis are 8.000.000 bushels compared with 18,799,000 bushel? last year. The question Is where will Chicago be with only 1,670.000 bushel* wheat, get a stock from to take care of the trade that usually comes here during the winter. A vear ago Kansas City had 9.804.000 bushels against 3.726/000 bushels at present. Omaha is shipping wheat to Chicago and has 2.050,000 hushd?. Chicago ahOuM have a good sized stock of wheat at all times considering the size of its trade. May wheat la ex- r peted to gain on the July. New York General.

' Financial Now York, Dec. IS.—The week opened with moderate reaction in some markets—foreign exchange and stocks especially—but with continued jdvance in others, it was notably in commodities that last week's strength vontinued. wheat going 2,*e a bushel shove the season’s previous high marks its best price being $1.27%, I'ompared with $1.06% a year ago, while cotton crossed the 26c line again, !ok the first time since November 15. Cotton is still nearly %c a pound from the season's highest, but today’s spot price lias been exceeded only on half a dozen days, ami today's prices for delivery later in the season went beyond their previous record. There is a certain fine irony alK*ut this steady rise in agricultural prices at the moment when La Follotte Is pre paring to base control of congress on the farmers' discontent. Foreign Rxrh&ng* Drop*. Foreign exchange declined moderately, the German mark in particular falling back from Saturday a prb ■« of nearly 0*'‘J to .Of*i This measured a natural enough reaction from the attempt at local speculation for the rise on the basis of Immediate forthcoming new a of an American loan to Germany Trices In general rose on the Stock Ex change until midday when the market’?: conjecture over the Great Northern Rail way’s dividend was ended by announce ment of reduction from the previous an nual 7 per cent rate to 5 per cen». The 7 per cent dividend had been maintained since 1898, and the decision for reduction Is now formally based an the freight rate reduction policies. The reduction ts eX »'tly the same us wa.' made last spring by the Northern Pacific operating in the same territory, but Wall Street had hoped for «t different \iewpo|nt after the an fumn trade revival, and the stock market reflected disappointment on today's news Financial Topics. The many rumors circulated in the fi nancial district during th« last few days to the effect that the directors o'" the United St at bit Steel corporation would declare a large extra dividend on the com mon stock, either iri the form of a cash dividend nr a dividend payable in Liberty bonds, was officially denied by the chi f executive of that corporation. Kllert II [Gray, chairman of the board, after tlu ! market ^ today, issued a statement In which he said that "the subject ha* not been discussed or considered by the board, by the finance committee, or by any. 1 officials, so far as he knew." Tn® failure of the Kansas City Stock Exchange firm, Houston. Sibley & < •,-» announced shortly before noon todav, had considerable effect on the sto-k market inasmuch as the suspension is looked upon as the largest of th.» year.
